I Am
I am not here to comfort you
My heart lies cold and dead
And all the love it held for you
Washed away by the tears I have shed
It is not because I've lived my life
In a way that kept me free
Nor for the many times I've been
Without your company
It is sad you never learned to love
To give your heart away
To be the flame for some mad soul
And turn their night to day
In every year when you were here
your silence was my grief
And when the new sun rose in me
You watched in disbelief
I only need myself to thrive
To live a life carefree
And in the end when blessings cease
I will live whatever is left in me
For all the guilt that left you blind
You still refuse to see
It's nothing more than forgotten lore
For now, my heart is free
